Near the Everglades
Living in the shade
There's a place you might know so well
Not so near any of the panhandlers
Where a gator might gladly
Sit for a spell with you
If you wanted to
Now, you know where I'll be around
Down in Swamp South
Yeah, you know where to find me
When the day is complete
Down in Swamp South
Down in Swamp South
There's nowhere you'd prefer
To be than Jupiter
Off the highways to the beach
And if you want nature
They've got it in reserves
Butterflies, dragonflies, and more
Within your reach
Feels just like luxury
So now, you know where I'll be around
Down in Swamp South
Yeah, you know where I'll be
Any given day of the week
Down in Swamp South
Yeah, down in Swamp South
No, a bug bite or two never stopped me
And I'm not scared of the swamp, you see
What's there to be afraid of, anyway?
And though I can't stay forever
Here's something I'll always treasure:
That come what may, I got to stay
Down in Swamp South
Yeah, down in Swamp South
